Hi Kathryn

Im sorry I havent been in touch, Ive been feeling a bit sorry for myself, the Abraxane was unbearable and still have neuropathy from it, thats how I broke my toe because the numbness hid the break from me, until it looked twice the size of the other. I am now on my second plaster caste which is removable for showering. I may be able to have it removed on the 14th if the x-ray is good. I started on Xeloda chemo (tablet form) last thurs and Im ok (TOUCHWOOD) so far. Im hoping that i can return to work soon if i cope with this stuff, as i am going stir crazy, Though i work with students I will have to protect myself from germs, I probably will deal with them over the phone rather than close contact to avoid viruses etc and colds. I was told to start my bucket list by the nurse the other week, it was hard to hear, I think im in denial at the moment and i cant accept that my life is out of my control.  I hope you are well hun and the chemo is not too unbearable for you.

Hi Von,

I'm replying to this post but maybe should have clicked one further up, but the way I rabbit on you'll not be long in picking up that I'm covering about the last 100 posts.

Dancing - count me in, I have no sense of rhythm and start off really well but then just go off and do my own wee bop.  Don't stand next to me in a step class, I can't do arms, legs and breathing all at the same time - it's not bonny I can tell you.

Pat I'm surprised at you, that you worry about your dancing, I "feel" you will have a natural sway to you, just move your hips in time to the music. If truth be told I have a wee dog and and Ipod, put the 2 together and when I'm out walking her I'm always singing, and have been known to have a wee dance in the park when it's quiet to - go me, am i bovvered?  Not really.

I'm surprised at your friend at work, even if he is a bloke, mine couldn't have been more different, I've had cards, flowers, texts, emails etc from my boys - actually, just to show you the kind of humour we share, one bought me an ipod and loaded music on it for when I went in for surgery, I was a regular at the gym before and had another ipod and was always on the running machine singing away - I could clear the gym, anyway he loaded "inspirational" music on for me to listen to while i was off, first track "Girl you're amazing just the way you are", I was in tears, next was "you've got the music in you" - words are don't give up, you've got the music in you, don't give up you've a reason to live, ok so now I'm in floods of tears wondering what the hell are tehy doing, next song Mac the Knife - tears were still flowing but I was laughing my head off.  They got worse from there on in, I still have them all though, even the rubbish ones (Flower of Scotland).  Once he gets over the initial embarrassment he might be ok, a few of mine even offered to check out the "finished job" - I have declined their offer - pervs.

So if you organise a danceathon I might just pitch up with Pat in tow

Good luck
